>>> MANA SKYBLOCK FIRST REVEAL <<<
We will be revealing the upcoming season 10 update for Skyblock over 3 separate announcement posts!
The 3rd announcement post will also contain the release date!
This is a huge update, that also changes some core gameplay. For this reason we will also be updating and releasing Islands Season 6 at the same time. Islands will be classic gameplay and economy, but still have majority of the new updates. We are also considering renaming it to Skyblock Classic & removing the toxic water, but I'd like to hear what the community thinks about that first.
Let's get right into the first reveal!
>>> THE SPAWN <<<
A lot of effort has gone into this spawn, I'd say it's the best spawn ManaCube has had!
Here is a 3D interactive tour of the spawn! If you can't interact with it, enable OpenGL in your browser.

All NPC characters are alive and animated

>>> BUILD MODE <<<
Build Mode is a new and easier way to build and manage your island!
Typing /buildmode will put you into Creative Mode on your island, and any block you place has a "Building Material" requirement.
Crops have a "Farming Material" requirement.
Breaking blocks will also give you the materials back!
Certain blocks have different material amount requirements, you can simply tell by hovering over the block in your inventory to see the cost.
You can still build in survival mode, and purchase blocks with $ too if you'd prefer that.
Build Mode is one of the new core changes that Classic Skyblock/Islands won't have.
You will not need to clear your inventory to enter build mode, you can also enable a setting to have an entirely separate inventory when in build mode, or to keep your existing inventory in build mode.
I'm excited to see the islands on season 10 as I hope this will encourage quality building.
> How To Get Materials <
There are 2 main ways of getting building & farming materials.
The first and simplest way is purchasing them for $ from /shop.
The second and more fun way is mining/harvesting in the 3 new worlds on Skyblock.
We will be showing off one of these worlds in this post - Wolfhaven

>>> ECONOMY <<<
After many seasons on ManaCube, we've learned that it is best to support both active and inactive progression playstyles.
You can still create AFK mob grinders and will provide good income at all stages when actively grinding them.
Crops are always good, especially early & mid game
The 3 worlds are designed each to be for a different stage of the game.
Wolfhaven is designed to be best for early-mid game players.
>>> WOLFHAVEN <<<
Wolfhaven is one of 3 unique worlds on Skyblock, balanced for early-mid game players.
Here you can mine for building materials, harvest for farming materials, and slay various Mana Monsters.
